How Eccentric George Plainly Made Hi
Fortune,
A few days ago l was returning
homo and had taken my seat In
train on one of the Western roads
We we're soon bowling merrily along,
and. as usual, ! was on the lookout
for the mend. Presently he appeared.
His first act struck me as unusual.
He closed the door before shouting.
The effect Of this would be to shut out
the whirring. rushing noise OF the
wheels rolling over the rails and thus
make his utterance more ineligible.
I did MT understand why a railroad
brakeman should wish to do that.
After closing the door he advanced
to the center of the cal, stopped,
cleared his throat. and in a deliber-
ate, clear, resonant voice, whose dis
tinct tones penetrated to every part
of tho cal, he cried:
'Dln-kirk, Dun-kirk! Passengers.
for the New York : Lake : Erie and
Western road : change : cars - Dun
kirk!'
As he commenced the sentence II was
curious to observe the expressions on
the faces of the passengcrs-surprise.
wonder, incredulity; as he proceeded
these expressions d%oepened, and when
hc had reached the end and turned to
leave the car. a general hum Of con-
versation ensued, in which could be
heard such comments as: well, ]
never!" "Oh, what an elegant brake-
mani" Didn't he say that beautiful
ly?' III e's a perfect jewel!' An old
farmer nudged him and said: Club,
l heerd every word you said; here,
have an apple!'
A commercial traveller on the other
side of the aisle handed him IL cigar,
saying: you are the first one of the
kind l ever met. There's a very fine
Havana; smoke it after supper"
A middle-aged lady told him to wait
a minute, and, opening her r%eticulc,
she took out a handsomely-bound vol.
ume of %Tennyson's poems, and said
she hoped he would accept it as a gift
from an admirer.
AS the brakeman thanked her and
moved toward the door, a portly old
gentleman touched him on the arm and
said:
"What is your name. sir9'
George Plainly" said the brake.
nan.
well, Mr.. Plainly" said the old
gentlemen, Il am happy to know you.
this is Mr. Plainly. Mr.. Plain

end. as the lady smiled b%ewitchingly
upon him, the old gentleman on
tinued: Here is my card, sir; and il
you are eycrin New York, l hope you
will make my house your home while
remain in the city. You will bo
reated as one Of the family. Now,
mind, sir, and do me the honor to visit
49,"
The brakeman passed oat and the
passengers settled themselves in their
eats and talked about him. At each
tation the experience was repeated,
md when we had finally reached our
estimation, all of the passengers had
made themselves known to the brake
nan. He had his pockets full of the
hottest cigars, a dozen books and
magazines, and N old granger gave
i'm a jack-knife with two blades and Il
ork-screw. We all shook his hand at
and wished him continued
uccess in his noble work. Altogether,
was a strange experience, and the
leasant memory of it will linger with
always. -Fuch.

Blackhead is generally supposed to be
q Rnd of skin worm, but this is q false
idea. The truth is simplythis: The skin,
either from the lack of cleanliness OF
activity, or both, has failed to remove
the waste materials from the pores, and
the blackhead Is formed from dirt adher,
ing to the oily substance of the gland. ]

"My face is not dirty" No." 1 said.
''of course not, but do you use soap when
you wash your face" No, he did not.
''And do you rub your face hard and dry
after washing?" No, he did not; he
thought rubbing would make the face

That is exactly why his face wa. red
